Lyric King of wishful thinking
I don t need to fall at your feet
Just cause you cut me to the bone
And I won t miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone
If I don t listen to talk of the town
Maybe I can fool myself
I ll get over you I know I will
I ll pretend my ship s not sinking
And I ll tell myself I m over you
Cause I m the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
Ooh I am the king of wishful thinking
I refuse to give into my blues
That s not how it s gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don t want to let you see
Now that you have made a hole in my heart
And now I ve got to fool myself
I ll get over you I know I will
I ll pretend my ship s not sinking
And I ll tell myself I m over you
Cause I m the king of wishful thinking
I ll get over you I know I will
I ll pretend my ship s not sinking ooh-ooh
And I ll tell myself I m over you
Cause I m the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking) yeah ooh
If I ever get a chance I ll get over you
(I know I will)
If I don t listen to the talk of the town
Maybe I can fool myself
I ll get over you I know I will
I ll pretend my ship s not sinking
And I ll tell myself I m over you (I m over you)
Cause I m the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
I am the king of wishful thinking
I ll get over you I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won t shed a tear for you
I ll be the king of wishful thinking
I ll get over you I know I will
I ll pretend my heart s still beating
Cause I ve got no more tears for you
I m the king of wishful thinking
I ll get over you I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
And I ll tell myself I m over you
Cause I m the king of wishful thinking
